Will be on oxygen while sleeping affect my progression through sleep stages?

Likely improve: If you are on oxygen at night for something like sleep apnea, then likely you will get better sleep quality (and progress through deeper stages of sleep) with treatment.

Should help: If you were having problems before, your o2 desaturations could have been keeping you from progressing correctly.
